Hi,

first of all - the new form wizard sounds great. Finally a real wizard 
even editors can use easily.

as for the two-column forms - those could easily be created if there 
would be the possibility to apply some predefined css-styles (layout 
dropdown like available for bullet lists, tables, filelinks,...) to 
fieldsets, so that you can provide a css class that is left aligned and 
one that is right aligned - and voilat - you have a two column style 
form or some other amazing design (maybe different soft 
background-images or whatever). If it would be easy to implement, it'll 
also be nice if such a style-selector could be available also for 
inputfields, selectboxes and textareas, so that you could markup some 
important fields.

So it'll be very cool if you could include a "layout-selector" for 
editors and maybe also a freestyle textfield for css-class definitions 
for admins.
Just some suggestions that would be a real goodie to have.
